Gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) revealed that four polypores viz., <i>Trametes versicolor</i> v21te, <i>T. versicolor</i> v22da, <i>T. hirsuta</i>, and <i>Oxyporus</i> sp. degraded 64%, 52%, 34%, and 20% of the anthracene, respectively.

Efforts to prevent the extinction of the Korean fir are underway, with a predominant focus on abiotic factors contributing to its decline. However, there is a notable lack of research on the complex interactions between microbial communities and Korean fir, particularly concerning how these interactions vary with the health status of the trees and their impact on population sustainability. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the rhizosphere fungal community structure associated with Korean fir trees in Jirisan National Park. We examined different habitat types, including the rhizospheres of native, cultivated, and dead Korean fir and bulk soil. Our findings revealed that the rhizosphere fungal community in the natural habitat of Korean fir predominantly comprises Agaricomycetes. Furthermore, the fungal community structure was more responsive to habitat type variations than seasonal changes.

Mechanical homogenization of fruiting bodies using an immersion blender in tandem with a ball mill was shown to be effective and led to destruction of at least 85% of asci and release of spores.
